I look in the mirror and think I'm gorgeous

Right now I'm unfit and overweight, but do you know what? I think I'm looking okay all things considered; I'm still alive. One of the advantages of never having been a beauty is that I've never had to worry about losing my looks and as my wrinkles have mostly come from smiling I'm happy with them too. The only person whose opinion really matters to me, The Wonderful Man, loves me for my personality so if I look reasonably okay too that's a bonus.

I look ok if I take the specs off, otherwise every wrinkle, blemish and black/white head is magnified to the extent that I resemble something from the walking dead. It's a salutary experience to gaze at myself....I promise to lose at least 2 stone and then take comfort by emptying the biscuit tin ?

Don't have mirrors in the house, have one small one in a drawer

I look in the mirror and think that from the front I`m passable, but it`s when I turn sideways that the horror sets in!

Luckily no-one says anything so rude to me, even if they think it.
I describe myself as a grumpy old bat, a friend referred to me as a game old bird. I think it was a compliment. (No point even thinking about Less of the Old!)

I'm quite happy with my appearance, until I walk past the shop windows and I catch sight of that shapeless, dowdy looking woman looking back at me. No matter how much time/money/effort I spend trying to look attractive, I always look so dull and shapeless.

Wish I didn't look quite so much like my mother! On the other hand I don't look too bad if the light is right. Kathy Burke may not be conventionally pretty but she can look very good and her obvious intelligence is very attractive.

I'm stunning until I put my lenses in

My DM said I was not a beauty but could look attractive if I tried - I think this was more to do with differing tastes in clothes and a boyfriend said I could be attractive if I did something about my hair.

So all told I think I will describe myself as someone who could be attractive if they did something (but not sure what)

I look great in the mirror but somebody else takes my place in photos.

It's not the mirror in the en-suite, it's the shop window that tells the real story.

BBW. Brown hair with greyfair streaks. A survivor. 58 going on 18. Determined not to grow up.

If I look in the mirror all I see is disappointment that my mother is looking back
at me
